In the end, he somehow ended up looking like her father. Even with the dark bloody hair, pimple face and thin, crooked smile, he, like everything else, eventually looked like her father in the end.

“As with other forms of mother blame, the issue of “permissiveâ€� or “smotheringâ€� mothers was central to Bruch’s theory. Bruch’s writings on “obesityâ€� are worded with examples of mothers who overfed their children to show affection, to reward, to placate, to assuage guilt, and encourage dependency. Bruch (1973) also linked fatness in children, particularly boys, to effeminacy and homosexuality, thus intertwining mother blame, fatness, and homosexuality in a particularly potent way.”

“But abuse isn’t like an uncomfortable pair of boots you can just kick off. It’s like being the passenger in a car speeding the wrong way down the highway. You know there’s hurt ahead, but you’re too scared to jump out. All you can do is hope it slows down, or better still, that it stops completely. Maybe it’s different for other victims, who have more family and friends, or who live in a bigger town.”

“A love of life pulsed into his heart; all he wanted was to rip it out and hand it over. Hold out his own heart in the palm of his hand as an offering to confirm his undying devotion.”

“One otherwise-great book on the subject includes a line implying that the “cute girl behind the deli counter slicing our breadâ€� could actually be a heartless murderess. Dude, just order the sandwich, you’re going to be fine.”

“Her silver eyes reflected in the dark. They reminded him of the nocturnal exhibit in the zoo where the halls were pitch black and illuminated only by soft blue lights inside the cages. Pacing about in one was the first predatory big feline he ever saw. An anxious and muscular cougar not suited for the captivity it had been forced into. When the cat turned to look at the crowd, its eyes were two glowing spheres. A vivid green lining within an eye that looked like Ruby’s stared out at the viewing crowd.”
